How many power sockets for Enlight

I have an Enlight 7233 250W casing. I noticed that I only have 4 power sockets for my peripherals excluding the 2 for the floppy. I'm talking abou the plastic 4 pin ones that you connect to hard drives and cdroms. Shouldn't there be more?

Only having 4x 12 Volt 4 pin molex plugs on PSUs with 150 - 250 Watt is not all that uncommon. Take note your case may be made by Enlight but your PSU may be a nameless generic. Typically PSUs with 300 - 350 Watts have 6 - 8 connectors. Most 400 Watt PSUs have 8 or more connectors.

Okie, Paragon confirmed it then. Well I've bought cases from Enlight that have had HiPro and Powman PSUs in them. Never once have I bought a Enlight case and received a matching Enlight PSU. Now I get nothing but Enermax PSUs!

I recently built my new Duron machine using an enlight case and supply (250W). I think it is a similar model (2 floppy bays and 4 5.25" bays). I can't check now (my computer's at home - i'm not). The supply is definately an enlgiht one. The model codes match the one that should come with that model case. I too only have 4 4-pin power sockets for perhiperals.

I currently have a Voodoo3 and was thinking of upgrading to a more powerful card. I seen posts here saying that Duron/Tbird systems with too many PCI cards / perhiperals use a lot of power and 300W is recommended. How many is too many?
